MORE BLOOD TO HEAD: WHEN YOU HAVE POTS, IT IS COMMON TO HAVE LIGHTHEARTEDNESS. IF YOU HAVE SYMPTOMS WHILE LYING DOWN, YOU NEED TO INCREASE YOUR FLUID INTAKE AND STAY HYDRATED, TAKE EXTRA SALT AND EXERCISE. IF YOU STILL HAVE THESE SYMPTOMS AFTER THESE CONSERVATIVE MEASURES, THEN YOU NEED TO SEE A SPECIALIST SUCH AS A CARDIOLOGIST WHO CAN TREAT YOU WITH MEDICATIONS SUCH AS BETA BLOCKERS, STEROIDS OR MIDODRINE.
